Swedish Wool Initiative
Wool Rebel is one of several participants in The Swedish Wool Initiative.
The goal is focused on enabling Swedish industries and suppliers within construction, furniture, fashion, outdoor, and home décor to easily access high-quality and competitive Swedish wool raw materials. The initiative also aims to create conditions for sheep owners and shearers to receive a fair price for their Swedish wool, encouraging the collection of wool.
Together with the project's academic partners and expert group, solutions based on both research and practical experience from The Swedish Wool Initiative will be scaled up and implemented in a real-world environment, both regionally in Dalarna and nationally in Sweden, in collaboration with Arena Svensk Ull.
The results from the project will be presented in May 2025.
Wool Rebel is developing a new product made with wool from Dalarna. We are working on product development together with Wåhlstedst Ullspinneri in Dala Floda and Smart Textiles in Borås.
